In the run up to completing the Programming Project (NEA) for OCR GCSE Computer Science, it is sometimes difficult to track and monitor progress. Students often don’t take suitable notes or keep detailed comments on their previous code to serve as an aide memoire in future programming. This learning diary facilitates student reflection and evaluation of their learning within a lesson and allows progress to be tracked across a series of lessons. It could also be used to support tracking the progress of students within NEA lessons, perhaps as part of a homework.
